    Garmin City Navigator Europe NT

    • The travel time computers on any gps I have used do not seem to factor traffic lights into the equation and obviously cannot predict time lost from having to go off a one-lane road to pass an oncoming car, truck, or bus.
    • But at 5-10 Km per hour, we wasted many hours and had the jeepers scared out of us too many times
    • no problems took us to the exact areas the times were correct and the mileage was accurate.
    • Frequently, Garmin City Navigator didn't give us enough warning or time to exit or turn onto the next road
    • Without this GPS software, I would have been lost many times as in the south of Spain there seems to be a roundabout every few Kilometers that you must navigate to stay on the right path
    • It is not at all as good as the US maps, and the pronunciation of words is laughable at best and down right confusing some times in my
    • The problem was that it had a hard time to find a location in another country when you were only 20 miles away
    • It worked fine every time.

    • I'm not sure if that is what worked (probably not, probably just time), but after trying that and then holding it out on the balcony of our hotel room for 20 minutes or more, it eventually found a satellite and all was well
    • However, more times than not, it fell short of expectations
    • Whereas the Garmin often offered misleading directions and failed to get us back "on track" if we missed a turn, the BMW system (which was, overall, much easier to use)got us to our destination every time and without driving around in circles in search of our destination as we did with the Garmin on far too many occasions
    • DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY AND TIME WITH THIS Card.
    • In addition, the program had a hard time identifying the Italian street name protocol
